Arsenal vs. Liverpool result: Reds move to within one point of Man ... (Sporting News)

Arsenal put up a fight, forcing Liverpool to fight for every inch, but Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino were on hand to see the Reds through to a ninth ...

It is hard to separate the pair on recent form, however. No Mohamed Salah in the starting lineup for Liverpool as he recovers from a foot injury, but he's available off the bench for the Reds if needed. In more positive news, Ibrahima Konate has recovered from a knock that has seen the Frenchman miss his side's last two games and makes the bench. It springs a Liverpool break for Sadio Mane behind the defense, but a heavy touch allows Gabriel to make a last-ditch contest and Mane's sliding shot flies well over the bar. The Brazilian's volley is planted straight into the ground, and it's an easy one for Matip to clear. Arsenal continues to push for a goal, but the game feels out of reach. Alisson has it covered though, and the eventual shot is over the bar. A slow buildup, but a through ball from Thiago — who made the mistake just moments ago — unlocked Arsenal and freed Diogo Jota down the left edge of the penalty area, and somehow the Portuguese international strikes from a very tight angle. 62nd min: GOAL! Liverpool! The Reds suddenly have this one in hand, and it's the substitute Bobby Firmino. Ramsdale saved the first chance from Salah despite a deflection, but Arsenal never clears. 88th min: CHANCE, Arsenal! Arsenal is still searching for a consolation goal, and Xhaka picked out Martinelli whose low effort flashed just inches wide of the far post. Liverpool’s defense held strong through the onslaught however, and allowed the Reds to bide their time until Arsenal made a mistake. Arsenal will be disappointed after the defeat, another reminder that the Gunners are off the pace of the elite Premier League teams.

Arsenal vs Liverpool. Premier League. 8:15pm, Wednesday 16th March 2022. Emirates StadiumAttendance: Attendance59,968.

Arsenal visit Aston Villa in the lunchtime match on Saturday, heading to Villa Park for a 12.30pm kick-off. Liverpool are in FA Cup action this weekend, travelling to Nottingham Forest on Sunday night; kick-off at 6pm. It's so difficult - I think it's game number 13 since we met Arsenal in the Carabao Cup. For them it's seven - that's six more games for us. Where Alisson had come to Liverpool's rescue, could Aaron Ramsdale come to Arsenal's? No game is easy in this incredible league and we have to keep going. Hailing the magnitude of the win, the Liverpool boss told Sky Sports: "It's really special. However, Arsenal lacked a cutting edge with their final ball off all night. Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka looked real threats in behind Liverpool's high line. "In 10 years, do you think somebody will say you should be proud [of finishing second by one point]? Probably not. On the title race, he added: "We have had a good period. "We went toe to toe against the best team in the league right now and big credit to the players. Liverpool's own sequence of consecutive victories now stands at nine - and counting.

Liverpool moved to within one point of the leaders Manchester City after a hard-fought 2-0 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.Diogo Jota and the ...

An awful backpass from Thiago is intercepted by Lacazette, who shields the ball from Alisson and plays it back to Odegaard on the edge of the area. The goal was created quite brilliantly by Robertson, who won the ball high up the field from Saka and surged into the area from the left. He got a good hand on the ball but could only push it into the net rather than round the post.56 min Jota's goal was his last touch - he and Luis Diaz are replaced by Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino.Diogo Jota scores against Arsenal again! We had half-time to correct things, we did it and we dominated the second half." Martinelli tries with another of his solo runs, but this time he runs the ball out of play.70 min Smith Rowe has a shot blocked by Matip. Arsenal are starting to get frustrated with a few refereeing decisions, and with the scoreline.67 min Emile Smith Rowe replaces Martin Odegaard, who had a great chance to give Arsenal the lead just before Jota's goal.65 min The last 10 minutes have been a savage lesson for Arsenal, and a painful reminder that - for all their admirable improvement - they are still a long way short of the best teams.Roberto Firmino makes it two! Liverpool move to within one point of Manchester City after a hard-fought win at the Emirates. They were made to work extremely hard by Arsenal, particularly during an intriguing first half.Liverpool upped the tempo after half-time and took control through goals from Diogo Jota and the substitute Roberto Firmino. Aaron Ramsdale, one of the stars of Arsenal's season, was badly at fault for the first goal. There was still plenty to encourage Mikel Arteta, not least a virtuouso performance from Gabriel Martinelli, but ultimately Liverpool's class and experience were decisive.88 min A lovely move from Arsenal. Smith Rowe, Partey and Xhaka work the ball across the field to Martinelli, who shapes a first-time curling shot back across goal. Their battle for the title in 2018-19 was immense; this year's might be even better.74 min Nicolas Pepe replaces Bukayo Saka, whose individual performance was a microcosm of Arsenal's: superb in the first half, subdued in the second.74 min Liverpool are in complete control, and Arsenal need something to get the crowd going. It was a more defensive performance for me and Trent tonight – Martinelli and Saka are really hard work – but it was nice to get an assist as well. It’s really special, not having a brilliant first half and then turning the game our way.“[On the instant substitution after the first goal] We wanted to bring fresh players on. Let’s just keep going and we’ll see.”“Our high press was not as accurate as it normally is in the first half. I was not angry at half-time – I just wanted us to change a few things, and that’s what the boys did.

LONDON -- The old cliche is that champions win when they are not playing well. That may well still be true but this was a rather different display to ...

As always seems to be the case with the Frenchman he was not in an optimum position to take a shot but he instead teed up Odegaard. A first-time strike might have been too much to stop though perhaps the pass could have come to him in stride. "I know the only chance we have is to win an incredible amount of football games. But if they do we may yet look back on this game as among the consummate performances of this excellent season, one where they emphatically won the moments as any champion must do. Four mistakes, none of them necessarily woeful, but with them the game was gone. With Mohamed Salah only fit enough for a spot on the bench it was up to others to deliver. It is to Mikel Arteta's credit that that period was the exception in this game. That is the mark of the very best teams, the differentiating factor between a good Arsenal team and a great Liverpool. For the former this need not be critical to their chances of finishing fourth. Such is the joy of having players who only need an inch, a moment to swing a game in their favor. For a time they were struggling to do so, not aided by a supply line that was not as consistent as usual. Even with a touch he should have scored but his shot was too close to Alisson, whose giant glove deflected it to safety. That is progress for Arsenal, so often cancelled by Liverpool. They shaded the first 50 or so minutes but until Odegaard's miss Alisson had precious little with which to concern himself. That may well still be true but this was a rather different display to burnish Liverpool's title credentials.
